an introduction

out of spontaneous desire and curiosity, i have finally ventured into this realm of the blog-o-sphere. in the past, i've braved xanga and recently tumblr. however, with the increasing amount of the adolescent presence of tumblr, i've arrived at the conclusion that it's time to move forward.

it isn't my intention to express a condescending attitude, but for the most part, tumblr has become bombarded with meaningless (although at times, i willingly admit, hilarious) memes and idle chatter. tumblr has welcomed a new demographic within recent years, as made apparent by my recent list of followers, which typically include fifteen year old girls or potheads, or in some cases, fifteen year old girl potheads. in any case, there is nothing wrong with the aforementioned groups, but i long for more fruitful conversations which may bring insight into my life or to a reader's. although, that isn't to say i will be completely absent from tumblr. along with posts from artists whom i admire and highly respect, i will continue to enjoy my guilty pleasure of reblogging gifs of happy dogs to images of various series i am fond of and beyond.

what i'm hoping for from establishing my presence on here is similar to why one would frequent a gym. my goal is to strengthen my voice and to improve my writing. instead of looking in the mirror and observing physical changes, i'm aiming to reflect on old posts to witness a growth in maturity and in style. in addition to that, blogger will serve as another medium to express my opinions, concerns, and beliefs that elsewhere i would feel uncomfortable or even threatened to do so.

at this moment, my view count will most likely be barren besides my own doing, but hopefully, it will increase over time. thus, i begin my journey on blogger, and i hope i can discover and interact with other people who possess a shared philosophy and shared nature for inquiring knowledge and devouring quality food or maybe this can be a gateway for me to adopt new ideas and ways of thinking. in any matter, i am filled with excitement.
